BOUTONNIERE.

SPEGIFIGATIOIT forming part of Letters Patent No. 507,533, dated October31, 1893.

Application filed April 15. 1593.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY W. FISHEL, of the city, county, and State ofNew York,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Boutonnieres, ofwhich the followingis a specification.

The object of my improvement is to furnish a boutonniere, with areservoir, for perfume or water, whence may be ejected a spray.

I will describe a boutonniere, embodying my improvement, and point outthe novel features in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a central longitudinal sectionon an enlarged scale. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a nozzle,comprised in the stem. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the body of theboutonniere. Fig. 4. is a perspective view of the reservoir, and anipple with which it is provided.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all thefigures.

A designates the body of the boutonniere. It may be made of sheet metal.As here shown,it consists of a tubular stem A, having a flange, shoe orback plate B, at the rear extremity, and provided, at the forwardextremity, with a flange 0, consisting of a socket for sustaining theflower D. The parts A, B, C, may be made in one integral piece, and thestem is intended to open through the back plate and through the socket.The flower D may be made of leaves of celluloid, or analogous material,fitted together so as to bear against the socket. Within the flower is anozzle E, which may be made of metal, with a flange e, and ascrew-threaded portion e capable of beingscrewed into the front portionof the stem A. The flange 6 will hold the leaves of the flower in oragainst the socket.

F designates the reservoir, preferably consisting of a bulb of softindia rubber. It is Serial No. 470.471. (No model.)

provided with a nipple G, which may be most advantageously made ofmetal, with two flanges 9 The bulb or reservoir has a hole into which Ithe flange 9 may be inserted. The nipple is screw-threaded, so that itmay engage with the interior of the rear portion of the stem A.

The reservoir is so small that the boutonniere maybe slipped through anordinary button hole in the lapel of a coat, and the reservoir will beaccommodated behind the lapel.

I am unwilling to confine myself to any particular shape for thereservoir, as it is only essential to provide for reducing the interiorcapacity so as to eject liquid therefrom.

It is intended that the nozzle within the flower shall not be covered byany portion of the flower, in order that when any one invited to smellthe flower avails himself of the invitation the wearer of the flower maycompress the reservoir and eject perfume or wa ter in the nozzle.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A boutonniere made in the form ofa button or stud and provided with areservoir and a nozzle, for ejecting a liquid, substantially asspecified.

2. A boutonniere made in the form of a button or stud and having ahollow stem at liquid reservoir communicating with one end of the stem,and a nozzle at the other end of the stem, substantially as specified. 7

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification inthepresence of two subscribing witnesses. I

HENRY W. FISHEL.
